Does anybody here "no poo" (no shampoo)? [View all]

I came across the no shampoo idea months ago and tried it. Instead of using shampoo and conditioner, you use baking soda and apple cider vinegar or lemon juice mixed with water to clean your hair. There are many variations. A conditioner only rinse. Water only. Etc.

I had minor success with this, but my problem was the hard water in our area. The baking soda wouldn't dissolve and my hair got more oily after three weeks and I couldn't find a solution to that problem. Until now. I never thought of boiling the water and then adding the baking soda, but many say it solves this problem. So, I am going to make another attempt.

Has anyone else or does anyone else use this method or a variation of it? It appealed to me because of the chemicals in shampoos and conditioners, and I knew it could save money if it worked. I would love to hear from anyone who has experience with this.
